Chapter 20: Entering the Western Mountains 1

Chapter 20: Entering the Western Mountains 1
Lu Ren reached out and tapped the cliff wall. Most of the steep cliff wall was smooth and there was nowhere to start!
How did Wang Wu and the others get up there?
With doubts, Lu Ren walked along the cliff wall, observing back and forth, only to discover that there was actually a rope hanging down from the cliff. This rope was somewhat hidden, and if it weren't for the faint light of dawn, it would have been difficult to notice!
Lu Ren grasped the rope and pulled it down with force, realizing that it was extremely secure. He immediately used both his hands and feet to climb up the cliff.
It took Lu Ren quite a while to ascend the over ten-meter-high distance.
Looking at the scars on his hand, Lu Ren's face couldn't help but turn bitter. It seems that the path into the mountains is not that easy!
Lu Ren shook his sore arm and discovered that there was a platform on this cliff, with an open terrain. Looking up, the forest was dense and the mountain was high, shrouded in clouds and mist!
Looking back, a little bit of a red sun just popped up on the horizon, like a shy little bride who has just entered the door, gradually revealing her face. It looks towards the flattened matchbox-like Lu Jia Village!
Lu Ren has never seen such a scene before, and unconsciously, a sense of heroism arises in his heart!
Having lost track of Wang Wu and the others, Lu Ren continues to ascend aimlessly. Wu's uncle mentioned that finding ginseng depends on luck. Let's see if I have that kind of luck! Lu Ren thinks to himself.
Gradually, Lu Ren realized that he was lost.
Under his feet, there were endless waist-high wild grasses, and in front of his eyes, there were various trees, some resembling old men, some resembling beauties, and even some resembling wolves and camels - well, anything you could imagine, they all appeared!
Luren's heart began to fill with fear. Wang Wu had mentioned that there were snakes in these mountains.
With such thick grass, Luren couldn't see his feet at all. Even if there were snakes, he would only find out by stepping on them, right?
As Lu Ren walked cautiously forward, he couldn't help but feel even more scared. Not to mention encountering a poisonous snake, even if a grasshopper jumped out, it would almost make Lu Ren's heart jump out of his chest!
Lu Ren carefully trod along, regretting in his heart: he shouldn't have entered this forest in the first place!
Helpless, I am now caught in a dilemma, unable to retreat...
Lu Ren lies in a pit and looks up, only to see a sky as small as a lid.
He can't understand, how did he fall down? He was so cautious!
This is a pit approximately over three meters tall, with smooth walls. It is clearly a trap dug by hunters for hunting.
There are not many traps like this in the mountains, mainly because digging such a well requires a lot of effort and labor! Generally, traps are made in places where wild animals often appear, with the help of the terrain, and can be easily constructed without much effort.
Lu Ren is very lucky, he won the lottery!
If only picking ginseng could be this lucky! Lu Ren thought angrily.
What should I do? If I can't get out soon, it would be bad if a wild beast comes --- Lu Ren thought worriedly.
Only can shout for help now, hoping that Uncle Wu and the others can hear it!
A loud shout echoed through a dense forest on Mount West.
Followed by another shout!
Lu Ren shouted for more than ten minutes, shouting until his throat was dry and parched, before finally stopping to catch his breath and rest.
I thought to myself: I wonder if Wang Wu and the others can hear me. I'll shout again later, I can't just sit and wait for death!
Lu Ren started shouting again, and as soon as he shouted, he heard some movement from above. Lu Ren was overjoyed and quickly shouted again. Translated content:
"Ooo..." The response from above was a howl of a wolf!
Lu Ren's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, muttering, "Don't come over, please don't come over!"
A furry black shadow appeared at the edge of the trap, and then swiftly fell down. The response to the translated content is:
In a space about two or three meters wide, a person and a wolf stared at each other!
Lu Ren felt the hairs on his body stand up, with cold sweat in his palms! He bent down, clenched his fists tightly, and stared at the wolf in front of him, not daring to move!
That wolf is about the same size as the village dogs, with a completely gray body. If it were thrown into a pile of dogs, it would just seem like an ordinary one!
But Road Ren knew that it was not the case at all. If that wolf were in a pile of dogs, its combat power would be absolutely superior!
This wolf first bared its teeth and glared fiercely at Lu Ren, but immediately appeared frightened, cowering on the ground like a puppy.
Upon seeing its appearance, Lu Ren seemed to understand his current situation. Translation: "
The gray wolf stared at Lu Ren, while its eyes wandered around, seemingly searching for a way out.
Lu Ren saw its expression and his tense nerves relaxed slightly. He thought to himself, "Should I try to communicate with it, let it understand that we are both outcasts of the world~ Oh no! That doesn't seem right! Both outcast wolves? That doesn't sound right either!"
Lu Ren tried to relax and speak in a friendly and approachable "wolfish" tone, "Hey, my dear Wolf, shouldn't we have a good talk?"
"Woof~"
The wolf bared its teeth and straightened its wavering gaze, seemingly attempting to stand up.
How the fuck do I communicate with it? Every time I speak, it snarls!
Lu Ren immediately refrained from making any movements, afraid that it would be misunderstood by the wolf and provoke an attack. He could only stay still, his mind racing to figure out what to do.
Seeing him stop moving, the wolf closed its mouth and crawled on the ground.
Once again, a man and a wolf began to confront each other, but Lu Ren felt that the wolf in front of him looked just like an ordinary dog kept at home. Why is it so obedient? Puzzled, Lu Ren was no longer as nervous as he was at first. Translation:
However, this calm was quickly disrupted.
Above, there came a hissing sound, followed by a long object falling down.
Luren, with sharp eyesight, could see that it was a snake, and a very large one at that!
People and wolves quickly dodge to both sides.
"Snap!"
The snake falls between the human and the wolf, swiftly twisting its body into coils. Its head rises, and its tongue flickers in and out. ~
Renyuan is already afraid of snakes. Seeing this snake, which is big and unknown if poisonous, he is scared and leans against the wall of the pit, unable to move.
The gray wolf, however, quickly took action. It first lowered its head and took two steps forward, showing interest in the snake and preparing to take action. However, its vigilant gaze never left Lu Ren.
But its obvious interest is in the prey right in front of its eyes, despite the presence of another enemy nearby. It decides to test the prey in front of it first.
The wolf's actions alert the snake!
The snake's head rises high and gently sways from side to side, exhibiting a unique skill of the snake species. This not only allows them to effectively evade enemy attacks but also quickly identify any vulnerabilities exposed by their opponents, enabling them to launch counterattacks.
The wolf ignites its wolf nature in an instant!
The grey wolf jumps back and forth in a zigzag pattern, trying to lure the snake into attacking, and then seizes the opportunity to bite its head.
With its three-inch long fangs, it can make the snake lose the power to resist with just one bite, becoming its prey in its mouth!
Unexpectedly, the foolproof hunting technique, which was flawless, was slightly delayed in its reaction due to Lu Ren's presence drawing some of its attention, and it was bitten on the face by the snake!
Well, this is great. Initially, there was already a long tail dragging behind, and now there's an additional one in front.
The grey wolf shakes its head from side to side, helpless. This snake has locked its jaws tightly onto the wolf's face, refusing to let go no matter what.
